Has anyone started a "business" knitting for other people?

[bigTillyMint]

I love knitting, but there are only so many jumpers, etc a person / family / friends need! My DH suggested I advertise locally to knit stuff for other people. I was thinking about advertising on a local forum.

So I was wondering, how should I go about it? I could put on some photo's of things I have recently made and maybe do a couple of baby / toddler jumpers / jackets / hats, etc to give an idea of what I could do? I have quite a lot of nice pattern books - do you think people would want to choose stuff?

And how much would you charge on top of the yarn for say a baby jacket / toddler jumper / woman's jacket?

TIA

If nothing comes of it have a look at the charity knitting group on Ravelry. Obviously they like you to buy your own wool but sometimes have wool to give away to knitters. I have done four Sands blankets
